[Vision2020] RCMP Urged to Bar Bush From Canada

[Ralph Nielsen]

Why hold this meeting in Calgary, Alberta? Two reasons.

One. Stephen Harper, the P.M. (Prime Minister) of Canada, leader of  
the Conservative Party, is the M.P. (Member of Parliament) from  
Calgary. (All members of the government, including the Cabinet, have  
to be elected members of Parliament.)

Two. For many generations the oil industry in Alberta has been  
heavily populated by immigrants from Texas and Oklahoma. There are  
now so many southern Baptists in Alberta that they have a S.B.  
Seminary in Cochrane, 25 miles west of Calgary on the Old Banff  
Trail. American-style fundamentalism is very strong in Alberta and  
spills over into British Columbia as well. I survived seven years of  
it in Calgary and Edmonton.
